Concerning what the digilines could be made out of, it could be a type of crystal similar to mese, but stronger than it and diamond. It could be called CONS and have the letters of that name on its blocks. Obviously, it could be a very rare find (it too could be of extraterrestrial origin just like mese is.)

I think that digilines should be crafted out of insulated mesecons, just as our data wires are bundles of insulated wire. It makes the most sense and avoids adding more wacky ores to the game.

What happens?First, you need to request data from the lightsensor by sending the string "GET" on it's digiline channel. The light sensor will then answer with the light value on the same channel. This answer throws an interrupt of type "digiline", the light value is contained in event.msg.The channel of the Light Sensor can be set by right-clicking on it.By the way, the RTC works in the same way. I hope the example works for you, tell me if I made a mistake.

If you just want a light there / light missing answer you could use the solar panel from mesecons instead with

Digilines only connect to other digilines devices and to LuaControllers. To interface a digilines device like a light sensor or RTC to a mesecons device like a piston or noteblock, you must use a LuaController between them to translate the signal.

Digilines are a complete serial interface like I2C, while mesecons wires are simple high-or-low TTL logic.

Thank you for reporting that, I didn't check if Cy's commit with the chest was ok when i merged it - minetest.require was supposed to be merged at some time, but in fact in never was. That's way he used it and broke stuff...

I would like to make the digiline LCD glow. But "light_source = whatever value i wrote there" doesn't seem to work! Can you explain to me how to make the LCD give off light? I KNOW I didn't exceed the 15 limit

1:Digilines Noteblock A digilines controlled noteblock (can be be made to hit any note a normal one can but you can use lua to make it play a song!call it a Digilines noteblock?

another thought: you could, in theory have a stop command ie you send a note, then tell it when to stop or tell it to change notes.

2: Digilines light A color changing digilines controlled light block (ex: you could have messages as colors ie red green orange... but also have an OFF message that turns the light off uses: status light, decoration, ex..probably easier than the noteblock idea. i think the traffic light from mp streets changes colors the same way.

That other idea..................seems good, I leave rest to the community.

well digilines musicblock and digilines musicbox come to mind for namesas for the didilines light...

here is a quote from: Post your mod requests/ideas here:

l could make one which makes it possible to set any colour from #0000ff to #ff0000

with it you could make a wall that displays a pattern, animation, or anything else you could dream up!

just a thought i had when thinking about mesecons and digilines.

Do you know digital RGB LEDs?(Adafruit NeoPixels, from here, the white wire is the digiline xD)

Sorry about my commit with the chests. I didn't think that when people saw 'mod "digilines_inventory" has unsatisfied dependencies: "require"' they'd go edit the source and complain when it errored, instead of installing the require module. It is admittedly pretty dumb to have to get a whole module, for just that little bit of code in 'require'... I wanted it incorporated into the luajit source code the builtin directory at some point, but it never caught on. Thanks for removing it... and for being better at table.copy than I am.

Moving all the code into init.lua is... okay, I suppose, but it would have got messy if I added digiline furnaces, and various novelty chests like I originally intended before getting disgusted with it. Easy enough to just use dofile for that, like everyone else though, since require isn't what everyone else is using.

I honestly have no idea why pipeworks was causing crashes. I made sure to provide fallbacks for everything I used in pipeworks, if it wasn't found. Must have missed something I guess...

That's impossible. Minetest has no support for custom cameras and recording videos. And it's not possible to stream videos on a texture, so the TV would be also impossible.(Impossible until you patch MT and make a pull request, but that's not easy!)The PC, however, is possible. It could be a (sandboxed) Lua shell where you can enter commands. But no GUI, because that messes up everything (and is a lot more difficult to make)...It will look more like those old BASIC computers (C64, ZX Spectrum, ...) than an actual PC. But that's better.
